Imphal: Manipur government continues to take stringent action against government employees violating the rules and renting out their allotted government quarters to other families. On Tuesday, five more police personnel, including one woman constable, were suspended from their services after they were found subletting the government quarters allotted to them.
The suspended police personnel have been identified as Mutum Romen Singh of Heingang police station, Mangvung Hatkholam Haokip, a woman constable of B Company at 9th India Reserve Battalion (IRB) at Khuman Lampak and presently attached with SP Tengnoupal, Ngangom Shantikumar Singh of Bishnupur district police, Pougongrei Gangmei of 6th IRB (Adm-Coy) and Y Priyokumar Singh of Imphal West police station.
The suspended police personnel are prohibited to leave their respective headquarters without taking prior permission from their concerned authorities. Moreover, they will get subsistence allowance as admissible under rules during their suspension period.
According to chief minister N Biren Singh, three more police personnel are under investigation for allegedly subletting their quarters to unauthorised families.
